He sounds like Danny De Vito.

Jesus he was apparently in his early 30s when he did this. He sounds like a morbidly obese 55 year old.

I have no idea if this is true but some of the comments are saying this was an actor hired by Capone's granddaughter to replicate his voice. Would be great if it is him. The voice does sound like it has an accent and I remember one of the Capone biographers (who talked to people who actually him) says that Capone didn't have an accent. Who knows.

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

Yes, I believe he was ashemd if his Brooklyn accent which he saw as low class and put in a lot of effort to train it out of himself.

FWIW the guy here - whether Capone or someone else - doesmt have a Chicago accent at least. Notice he pronounces Chicago as "Chi CAH go" rather than "Chi CAW go". I'd imagine that after all his time in the city Capone's pronunciation would've picked up at least some local inflection.

The comments. lol. And I'm not sure I buy it. There's just a certain way people of that era talked and I'm not hearing it in this. This sounds like an actor today.

Fellas this is a voice actor hired by Deirdre Capone to "reconstruct" her famous relative's voice several years ago. This thing pops up every once in a while online with people saying it's real. It's not him, but Ms. Capone said it's an accurate reconstruction.

Thats not Capone....its an actor. The most funny thing is that old hag Deirdre suddenly remembered his voice when she was only a small girl lol making money right?! Lol
