Excellent question, Tom, about lessening vocal fatigue in the speaking
voice. Two quick & easy things that you could start paying attention to
are drinking a lot of water and making sure that you actually take a
relaxed breath when you speak. (Sometimes when we speak a lot, the
abdominal muscles get habitually tight because we don't actually take the
time to breathe between sentences. It can help just to consciously slow
down those breaths. Take a little pause before continuing and use that
tiny pause as a chance to relax and take a leisurely breath.)

Good luck!
