vocal fatigue

Worn-out speaking apparatus

Vocal fatigue is tiredness or strain in the voice from overuse, typically affecting singers, teachers, and others who speak extensively.

Symptoms include hoarseness, reduced range, and a voice that feels effortful to produce.

After three hours of lecturing, vocal fatigue set in.

Rest usually restores normal function, though chronic fatigue may require treatment.
