Pipefitter Christopher Donisi wins Boston Logan Airport Voice contest
Boston Logan International Airport announced Thursday that Christopher Donisi, a 43-year-old HVAC pipefitter from the Boston area, has won the inaugural Voice of Logan contest. Donisi was selected from more than 6,000 applicants through a public voting process that received 35,000 votes. He'll record greetings and announcements for the airport's 43 million annual passengers, beginning in mid-November in time for the holiday travel season. The role is unpaid. Donisi, who was encouraged by his mother to audition, has been complimented on his deep baritone voice since childhood. He plans to keep his day job as a pipefitter while performing the voice work. His selection represents a shift from the previous 25 years of announcements recorded by Joe LoGiudice, reflecting Massport's desire to give the airport a more local, authentic Boston character.
