When we're under stress, our bodies tense up and we start to breathe shallowly. The combination of a tense jaw and face and shallow breathing can lead to mumbling. Posture can really help with this: if we take strike open, confident poses we are more likely to feel that way. Breathing helps also. Trying to extend the length of our exhalations will help relax us.

Usually we mumble in order to not attract other attention or in this case, the entire classroom. It usually because we are embarrassed and/or to make mistakes if made less noticeable but overall it's because the urge to not be the center of attention

Mumbling is something we can do to try to register what someone has just said. When you mumble, try to figure out what your mind is trying to tell you or what you're saying. It could be signs of anxiety. If you get nervous or anxious, you could always explain to your teacher. They're there to support you, after all.

Its intensely personal yet universal experience..! Itz because we are not sure how we will perform. But some nervousness actually makes us perform better..!

You start mumbling because your body is diverting all of the brain's thinking energy to being nervous! We have an natural response to flee when we are scared. If you are nervous or scared, you body wants to flee - however, your grade depends on you not fleeing from the room! So it takes a moment for your body to overcome this response and allow your brain your to do its job and read.

It's normal and common to be nervous when you have to read/speak in front of others, but you should always remember that basically everybody is feeling the same about it and that nothing bad is going to happen to you, if you get nervous and start to mumble. If it happens, just have a good laugh about it and take it easy and the others will do the same. Always remember that it isn't a big deal.

Reading in front on a class is stressful so our body tenses up causing it to react in a weird way because it feels vulnerable and we got into a flight fight or freeze mode.

It shows that your nerves are kicking in, and you may not be 100% comfortable speaking around those in class.
