跟进:波士顿管道工多尼西胜出,成为洛根机场新「声音」

波士顿洛根国际机场11月5日宣布,本地管道工克里斯托弗·多尼西(Chris Donisi)将在全州海选中胜出,成为机场新的广播报音员,今后每年迎接数以百万计往来波士顿的旅客。马萨诸塞州港务局表示,共有6000多人报名参加了这次公开选拔,多尼西从8名决赛选手中脱颖而出,最终由公众投票选定,投票总数超过3.5万张。
多尼西的嗓音将取代为机场服务近25年的乔·洛朱迪斯。港务局说,新声音将在航站楼的广播中出现,内容包括登机提醒、安全提示和航班信息。多尼西本人是一名管道工,并非专业播音员,这也是这次选拔受到关注的原因之一—港务局希望找到一个能代表波士顿本地气质的声音,而不是千篇一律的播音腔。
洛根机场是新英格兰地区最繁忙的机场,每年旅客吞吐量达数千万人次。港务局表示,换声工作将在近期完成,旅客很快就能在航站楼里听到多尼西的声音。机场方面没有透露这次选拔和录制的具体费用,只表示整个过程全部公开,决赛选手的声音样本曾在网上公布,供公众试听和投票。

Follow-Up: Boston Plumber Chris Donisi Wins Audition to Become Logan Airport's New Voice
Boston Logan International Airport announced on November 5 that local plumber Christopher "Chris" Donisi has won a statewide audition to become the airport's new public-address announcer, greeting the millions of travelers who pass through Boston each year. The Massachusetts Port Authority said more than 6,000 people entered the open audition; Donisi emerged from eight finalists and was chosen by a public vote totaling more than 35,000 ballots.
Donisi's voice will replace that of Joe LoGiudice, who served the airport for nearly 25 years. The authority said the new voice will be heard in terminal announcements including boarding reminders, safety notices and flight information. Donisi is a working plumber, not a professional broadcaster, one reason the selection drew attention: the authority wanted a voice that represents Boston's local character rather than a generic announcer's delivery.
Logan is the busiest airport in New England, handling tens of millions of passengers a year. The authority said the changeover will be completed soon and travelers will hear Donisi's voice in the terminals shortly. It did not disclose the cost of the selection and recording process, saying only that the entire process was public, with finalists' voice samples posted online for the public to hear and vote on.
