Boston airport contest seeks new ‘Voice of Logan’

Massachusetts residents are competing to become the next “Voice of Logan”, the announcement voice for Boston Logan International Airport. The contest is offering people in the state the opportunity to provide the voice heard by travellers at the airport. NPR reported that thousands of entries have been submitted.

The competition is therefore highly competitive, with the broadcaster describing it as “wicked steep”, using a local expression associated with Massachusetts. The supplied material does not identify the current airport voice, explain how contestants are being assessed or give a timetable for selecting the winner. It also does not specify whether the successful participant will record announcements permanently or for a limited period.

Logan airport is the setting for the contest, which is aimed at Massachusetts residents. The airport’s announcement system provides the public-facing platform for the role, but no further details about the required vocal style, audition process or prize are provided. The large number of entries indicates significant interest in the opportunity, according to NPR’s brief report.

Beyond that, the material does not include statements from airport officials, contestants or organisers. The contest links a familiar part of airport travel—public announcements—with a regional search for a recognisable voice. Until organisers provide more information, the available details are limited to the location, eligibility described as Massachusetts residency and the scale of participation.

The winner’s identity and the date of the announcement were not included in the supplied source material.
