The mannerisms sound similar, but the voice doesn't sound like Wozniak. You can compare it with a slightly more recent sample here:

Whenever someone tells me that Jobs was a natural public speaker I tell them that he too had to overcome stage fright and worked hard to be what he is.
Such an unremarkable piece of footage, yet I found my 24-year-old self studying every little detail and facial gesture.
What was inside of him then that led to where Apple is today?

Unfortunately, I don't think clips like this are very helpful for answering such a question...
I find myself hoping that he has or is writing an autobiography or a book where he opens himself up to others. He's a very private person when he's not representing Apple and I really hope we'll get to hear from him and see how he's envisioned his life and work.

The part where they put a giant white earbud in his ear is priceless, especially when he looks somewhat suspiciously at it.

Anyone know if the actual broadcast is available? It'd be cool to watch it, especially after seeing this.
at 24 you have a lot less filters I guess.
I am not used to seeing Jobs express so much emotion
"god... waves back hair"
Epic.
Epic.
Even then he did seem to have a kingly quality.
We all have to start somewhere, right?
that is really suprising awesome post!
The guy's a perfect salesman. He knows how to sell.

...at which point Jobs looks visibly bothered that the story just won't end. Was that Woz off-screen?
Edit: For some reason this reminds me of a scene in Raising Arizona: "...and all Pancho wanted was a hot roll and butter. So... why do you use the word 'trapped'?"
