    According to bitpicker's explanation, I think it would be better to translate these words as:

    to shout = (на/про/_)кричать
    to yell = (на/про/_)орать

    What do you think?

    You often see "cried" after dialogue; in this case it doesn't express pain, rather an elevated emotional state.

    "Liz has asked us to house-sit for her this summer!" cried my wife excitedly.
