Passagio

Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAS : Passagio

The passagio (an Italian word for passage) is the range of notes that denote a change from chest to head voice. In undertrained voices, a crack will appear in this range as the voice cannot properly handle the tension that results as a note changes through this area.
