This is because you are scared. I also shake when I am in front of a crowd. Now, this can be hard of your in school or work because she have to speak in front of people. You should explain this to your parents, boss or teachers.

Often times, my voice also shakes while I speak publicly. Sometimes, when we are nervous it shows in ways that we cannot control. The best way to help is to do more public speaking to get more used to it (: much love

The fear of being judged by many people is a common trigger for anxiety. Anxiety causes yoir muscles to tense up, and you can start shaking.

I often used to suffer this way in my class, initially i thought it was simple nerves. I wasn't very close, nor well liked by everyone in my class, i must just be scared. However, as i grew, and matured, i found myself still acting the same way, despite considering myself friend's with almost everyone there. This sudden onset anxiety is driven by the situation and the environment, i could talk to everyone individually, but not all at once. To combat this, i tried to imagine i was speaking to one specific person. I focused, relaxed and began to shake less and be less nervous. You must understand these people infront of you are humans just the same way you are, when you are in a crowd, looking towards a speaker, do you think malicious thoughts? Probably not. So chances are, they dont about you.

Technically speaking, its the stress of being in front of so many people and having all of them looking/listening to you. Your body is prepping to put you in Fight or Flight. This is when adrenaline goes through your body to prepare for a potentially dangerous situation. But I know that the technical answer will probably not help so here's another answer. You might be subconsciously (or consciously) thinking about how many people are looking, listening, and judging you. This can be extremely frightening which causes you to shake. Maybe next time when you're in front of a large crowd, try to bring something to fidget with.

It can just be stage fright as its common in everyone, if you want to get over it then you can start by talking to smaller crowds, it's natural to shake and be nervous in front of large crowds.

It could be nervousness. Or anxiety. But if you're excited or if you are feeling any extreme emotion, the shaking can also be caused by a rush of adrenaline. It'll naturally make you shake, sweat, become hot, or make you nauseous.

when you shake when talking in front of a crowd you are probably experiencing stress or nervousness which is okay when its your first few times, until you get used to it and you wouldn't have to shake at all

Put shortly; A lack of practise. Thats it! Anything you do can be practised and the more you do it the less nervous you become, in addition you become more confident doing it. I would try some breathing exercises before speaking in front of a crowd and trying to focus on individuals rather than the entire crowd also works (make sure you shift your attention from individual to individual). Also moving around and looking up from time to time help you relax and may help you deliver your speech without shaking and or exhibiting other signs of nervousness. Relax, just keep at it!
