THE SECRET TO AMERICAN ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION (Voiced & Voiceless Sounds)
THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON FOR ENGLISH PRONUNCIATION THAT YOU NEVER LEARNED!!!!

VOICELESS SOUNDS:
CH, F, K, P, SH, S, T, X
VOICED SOUNDS:
B, G, J, L, M, N, R, V, Z, and vowels A, E, I, O, U
If you touch your throat when you make a voiced sound, you should be able to feel a strong vibration.

Some minimal pair examples:
