American pronunciation is different from UK English, that's for sure.
One of the main differences is the pronunciation of the letter 'u' and 'ou'.
Take the word, duty. In UK speak, it is pronounced dew-ty while the American version renders this word as dooty. Of course, this is a generalisation and there are exceptions.
Regarding the 'ou' sound, take, for example, the word, router, the device by which you are more than likely using to connect to the internet. In UK pronunciation, it is called a root-er. In American, this piece of hardware is pronounced as rout-er as in the word rout, meaning a disorderly flight after a battle.
