The pronunciation of the individual letters of the alphabet is precisely the same.

What you are searching for is a guide to the pronunciation of words, which are made up of those letters. Try searching for a guide to American pronunciation, as opposed to a guide to the American alphabet (which is no different to the English alphabet).

This should help you with the specific usage and sounds of the letters in combination, as well as the differences in the vowel sounds.

One book with generally good reviews is: The American Accent Guide: A complete and comprehensive course on the pronunciation and speaking style of American English for individuals of all language backgrounds.

There is also a website called fonetiks . org which might help.
Good luck!
