Saying all the Takbir and other sayings in Zuhr and Asr aloud is permissible. Reciting the AlHamd and the other Sura should not be aloud in Zuhr and Asr. Reciting Bismillah Arrahman Arraheem aloud is recommended in Zuhr and Asr, while it is obligatory in Maghrib, Isha and Farr prayers.

Dhuhr . Asr . Time . Dhikr . Salah (Prayers)

If I miss my Dhuhr and it is Asr time, should I sit for Dhikr after making up Dhuhr and then pray Asr, or do I do Dhikr after praying Asr. Does this apply for every missed prayer? Should I always do Dhikr after praying the current Salah if I missed one?

We must perform every obligatory Prayer on its time and never delay it till its time goes away. If you did not pray your Dhuhr Prayer, you must perform it before performing your ASR Prayer. Dhikr is highly recommended after every obligatory Prayer. Tasbeeh of Fatima (SA) is highly recommended after every Prayer and it is more beloved to Allah (SWT) than one thousand recommended Rak'ats, according to Hadeeth from Imam Ja'far Al-Sadiq (AS). Reciting Ayatul Kursi is also highly recommended after prayers.
