--- Quote from: Cowboy Dude on September 27, 2017, 04:33:11 AM ---Did he call every other clone personally too? Like, "Okay that was Terry, only 1,540,299 more to go"? Why not just sent out a single recording to every clone?

As with any military, there's a whole hierarchy of command from the Generals down to the Privates. For every battle theatre, there was always someone or a group of people who were mounting the charge and coordinating local troops.
I know it's a bit awkward with how it's presented in the film, but Palpatine contacted a selection of important troops; both the leaders of planetary forces (such as Cody who was in command of the Utapau theatre), as well as specific troops who were currently protecting Jedi targets (in the movie, you can see a couple shots of troopers behind a Jedi warrior when they get the order).
The Clones are an extremely well structured, very coordinated military. Orders trickle down from command quickly, and knowing who is in charge of watching the Jedi is pretty easy so long as they're sticking to orders. You need only set the dominos up and then push on one for the entire thing to fall into place.

--- End quote ---
While it's true that the clone army is made of clones, they still had somewhat individual personalities and traits, and some clones had distinguished themselves out on the battlefield. Cody was one such trooper (his canon backstory is extremely detailed, and he has some serious battle scars), who gained a unique nickname as a result of his success. It's likely other unique troops who were in a leadership or protection detail position may have also received personalised orders.

--- End quote ---
All of the clones were implanted with a bio-chip in the birth process. This chip had two functions; ensure total obedience of the subject, and more importantly embed a series of commands that could be called and acted upon without a moment's hestiation (aka Palpatine didn't need to spend time explaining "kill the Jedi targets and secure local forces" and so on).
So long as Palpatine tells a clone unit to act on or execute an order, they must do it. It's only "voice-activated" in the sense that the clones have an embedded understanding of what all of the orders mean, and they must follow them. Furthermore, clones must stick to the chain of command, so when Cody says "Blast him", they're going to do that regardless of if they understand why or not.
--- Quote from: Cowboy Dude on September 27, 2017, 04:33:11 AM ---What if someone other than Palpatine says "execute order 66"?
--- End quote ---
The bio-chip is keyed to only allow specific individuals (such as Palpatine) call the shots. The clones don't need to act on orders from people not in the chain of command.
--- Quote from: Cowboy Dude on September 27, 2017, 04:33:11 AM ---How is Anakin, for all they know is still a Jedi, not a target?
--- End quote ---
You'll notice that Anakin walks into the temple with a giant army. It's very likely that Palpatine sent word to the local Coruscant barracks that his new second-in-command was coming to help with the assault on the Jedi Temple to complete Order 66.
Clones aren't dumb and they do have some initiative. The Clone Army has means to communicate service updates (such as changes in leadership), so Palpatine just needs to send a general announcement in his own time that Anakin is not a Jedi and is instead in charge of the situation.
