Arlington pipefitter Chris Donisi has been chosen as the next voice of Logan Airport, giving the airport a new recorded voice heard by travelers through Boston’s main air gateway. He said he never thought he would have the opportunity to be a voice actor, which makes the result a sharper shift from day job to public-facing assignment.
Chris Donisi and Logan Airport
Donisi told 7NEWS, "My mother found this on a whim. She said you’d be perfect, and I tried it out, and here I am" before his win. He also said, "Million people hearing my voice? That would be something special."
That is the practical scale of the job. A single voice line can end up repeating across an airport used by a large audience, so the selection is less about celebrity polish than about clarity, consistency, and staying recognizable after repeated hearings.
From Arlington to Boston
Donisi said, "I feel like I relate to the people of Boston because of, you know, me being homegrown here." That line gives the contest a local edge: the winner is not coming in from outside the region but from Arlington, which fits the kind of voice passengers are likely to hear and keep hearing at Logan Airport.
He is a New England native, and that background matters because the role is built around public familiarity rather than performance spectacle. The voice travelers hear in the terminal has to sound steady and immediate, not polished to the point of feeling detached.
The Voice of Logan contest
The Voice of Logan contest produced a clear winner, and the result now shifts from selection to implementation. What remains open is the simple operational question: when Donisi will begin serving as the voice of Logan Airport.
For now, the selection itself does the work. A pipefitter from Arlington now has the kind of assignment most people never expect to land, and Logan Airport travelers will hear the result once the voice takes over the system.
