Massport’s search for the next “Voice of Logan” has turned into a citywide audition, with locals posting their own takes on social media and Boston.com readers sending in recordings — and rewritten scripts — of their own.

Since we asked readers to weigh in on Massport’s search for a new announcer, the submissions have piled up online and in our inbox. Some came from lifelong locals with delightfully thick Boston accents. Others came from people whose voices many Bostonians already know.

Ben Affleck was among the higher-profile names to join the fun, reading the script on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” last Thursday, and offering his own rewrite.

On social media, Bruins players, like Sean Kuraly and Morgan Geekie, joined in. So did Malden native Sen. Ed Markey. Standing in front of the State House, the senator repeated words “harbor” and “Gloucester” for a few takes to get the accent just right.

Comedian Jimmy Dunn made a splash by tossing the script aside for something a bit more unfiltered.

Many other locals chimed in, too. “Reggie B.,” a former Catholic school teacher read the script dressed head-to-toe in a DunKings jumpsuit; a slew of dads were, somewhat unwillingly, convinced by their children to give the script a shot; and one woman’s reading of the script even drew 23,000 likes.

Boston.com readers, meanwhile, sent in their own recordings.

Ann C. of Holliston, who said she was born and raised in Boston, offered an alternative script about local pride. It name-checks the Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics, and the Patriots, takes credit for Dunkin’ Donuts, and nods to the city’s revolutionary history.

“We are a multicultural city where pride abounds,” she wrote.

Lisa B. of South Yarmouth went for a classic welcome-to-town message. Her version pitches Boston as a place with something for every visitor, from a Sox game to lunch at Faneuil Hall to a romantic dinner in the North End.

Some readers submitted scripts that centered Boston’s iconic accent more than the words themselves. Nana S. of Weymouth wrote her alternative script phonetically, opening with “Are ya comin’ ta Boston?” before warning visitors the city can get “wicked crowded.”

Not everyone wanted to tear up the original, though. Mary Ellen W. kept the official script’s touchstones and built on them, calling Boston the “Cradle of Liberty” and added in a nod to the city’s numerous universities.

The “Voice of Logan” contest runs through Oct. 4, and public voting is set for later in October.
