Meet Boston's "Voice of Logan" Airport

By the numbers: More than 6,000 people auditioned for the inaugural "Voice of Logan" contest before Massport named eight finalists last month.

• Overall, 35,000 people voted, said Rich Dave, Massport's CEO.

State of play: Donisi, who lives in Burlington with his wife and two children, will start recording announcements next week.

• He practiced a little at Thursday's news conference: "This city runs on iced coffee, raw ambition and unbeatable team spirit."

What they're saying: "I'm one of you guys," Donisi told reporters Thursday morning at Logan.

• "You probably sat next to me at one of the bars in Boston. You've probably waved to me or given me the finger in traffic — one or the other. We're still all friends.
• "I was just so surprised, and I'm so grateful."

What we're watching: Donisi has spent more than two decades working as an HVAC pipefitter.

• He doesn't plan on giving up his day job (and Massport isn't paying him), but he said he might might consider other voice acting gigs in the future.
