Resum:	Introduction. One of the objectives aimed in our investigation on Education of the voice and vocal Health, leads us, in this stage, to continue inquiring into the existence of a relation between the reactivity to stress and the voice problems in the teaching group. Materials and methods. For this, used a sample of 447 individuals amongst future teachers and teachers on active service was used, since they form a population which presents both a high index of voice problems and stress. In order to gather the necessary information for the study we have used the questionnaire VHI-10 (Voice Handicap Index) and the test IRE-32 (Index of Reactivity to stress). Results. The results indicate that those individuals with voice problems have a greater reactivity to stress. In this reactivity it was observed that there are certain items in which the difference is relatively great. . The majority of them regard vegetative signs, that are linked to aspects related to voice emission. Conclusion. Reactivity to stress is a useful factor to bear in mind in teachers with voice problems.
