Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When our brain releases adrenaline, it increases our heart rate and causes shaky hands or voice, dry mouth and sweating.

Detailed explanation-2: -Here’s the bad news: Our brains have transferred that ancient fear of being watched onto public speaking. In other words, public-speaking anxiety is in our DNA. We experience public speaking as an attack. We physiologically register an audience as a threatening predator and mount a comparable response.

Detailed explanation-3: -You can easily eliminate a shaking or cracking voice by slowing your speaking rate and gaining control of your breathing rate. Focus on someone comforting in the audience. Intentionally slow your speech, inhale, and lower the pitch of your voice as you continue.
