A simple random sample of 244 Kindergarten and Primary Education teachers of Málaga public schools was studied. These teachers showed low scores in the Emotional Exhaustion (EE), the Depersonalisation (DP) and the Personal Accomplishment (PA) subscales. Significant relationships were found between the professional voice use and burnout: EE scores were associated to the vocal use inside the classroom as well as to the cervical muscular tension; DP punctuation related to vocal use during the professional meetings and free time activities; PA subscale showed a tendency to be associated to the cervical muscular tension.
