This is common in singers; often the speaking voice is not as well produced as the singing one. Speech therapy is very effective for this. I was really surprised at some of the things I as doing while speaking, things like the cords hitting each other, wrong pitch (I was speaking too low) and forcing to be heard instead of using ring and good breath support. I developed these habits while doing commercial announcing and voice overs. It only took a few sessions to make me aware of what was going on and apply what I did automatically as a singer to my spoken voice. Maybe you could record part of a day and listen to what is happening while you are speaking.
