Hello Shoaib,
I think you have social phobia. You can take 20mg of propranolol half an hour before you are to face anxiety provoking situation.
Also you can start practicing to speak in front of mirror with normal voice. Slowly you will start feeling confident. Then you can start speaking in front of say two people and gradually your problem will resolve.
Thanks.
