DON'T DO IT! Professional writers do not replace the word "said" with needless synonyms. Professional writers show character action to show who's speaking, or they use specific speaking patterns and words for each character. If you do need to add something that shows who's talking, just write "he said" or "she said." Words like the ones below will scream "new writer" to any editor or publisher who reads your work.
