The best way to train a cat is by letting it imitate you as though you were its mother. This is easier done when it is a kitten as older cats become a lot more difficult to teach. We all know how cats have a mind of their own and are very independent animals. This only becomes more so as they age.
You need to get your cat to trust you and shouting and growling at it is not the right approach to do this. Speak softly and encourage and reward it when it does the right thing as this is the fastest way to get your cat to do what you want.
Cats love praise, and teaching them that they will get more from doing something that you want them to do, will ensure that they will be more inclined to obey you for the reward.
If you do have to reprimand your cat don't use its name when doing so as you don't want it to associate its name with something that might upset it...
