Arlington Pipefitter Wins Voice of Logan Airport

Chris Donisi, a pipefitter from Burlington, Massachusetts, has been chosen as the winner of the Voice of Logan Airport contest. Massport, the agency that runs the airport, made the announcement on Thursday morning.

According to Massport, more than 6,000 people auditioned for the role and 35,000 people voted in the contest. Donisi was one of the eight finalists chosen.

A Homegrown Boston Voice

“I’m a home grown Boston guy, born just outside of the city in East Arlington,” Donisi said in a statement. “And I don’t think I honestly deserve anything but I just know this city and its roots and how the people move and flow around here.”

Donisi explained that people have been telling him he should do voice work since he was about 11 or 12 years old. “It wasn’t any like transition into it, it was just – bang!” he said. When asked if he laid it on extra thick with his Boston accent for the contest, he replied, “It’s just how I flow.”

The Role of a Lifetime

Donisi’s mother was the one who told him about the competition. He said the experience is something he is taking in stride. “Million people hearing my voice? That would be something special,” he said.

Now, his family and friends will hear his voice whenever they go to Logan Airport. “I think it’s so cool. I’m so excited about that. I’m sure there’s going to be some surprised faces, walking and hearing my voice. I’ll probably be one of them,” Donisi said.
