Along the same vein as Randy's comments, I don't know what type of "day job" the original poster has but it has been my personal experience, as well as that of my husband, that if you hold a position that requires a great deal of talking during the day, the voice does suffer (both in speaking & singing) as the day progresses or the following day. It is probably a good idea to try, if at all possible, to limit speaking during the day if you have a performance in the evening.
