I'm no expert (I sing but I don't know that much about vocal pedagogy), but it sounds like the problem is technical. Either the singers are muscling to reach the notes that they're singing (this tires out a voice but quick), or they're not using their support apparatus to its maximum potential ( ... )

Thank you so much! I was hoping you'd comment. Voice fatigue is a problem with both our men and our women, so it's not just a male voice thing.

Can you explain your warmups in more detail? Also, what are "giggle posture" and "sobbing posture"?

Oh, yes! Men and women both suffer from fatigue, but the problem areas for each gender can be very different ( ... )

This is AWESOME! Are you kidding? Don't apologize, we came here to read good advice from the hive mind!

To answer your question - a lot of the work that needs to be done to preserve that second hour of singing needs to be done before the first hour. The key in the first hour is keeping hydrated and using good alignment/breath/posture.

Okay, I'll be quiet now. :)
