How to learn Italian pronunciation? Is there phonetic video?

At school in Australia, we used a great learning program called "Avanti!". It came with audio cds, books, and comics - so you could read along with the comics as new words were introduced, and that way you could see how each type of sound was pronounced. I'm pretty sure it had audio of new "lists of words" that were to be learned too - so over time, you would see how to pronounce each type of sound.
You could also search YouTube for an Italian Pronunciation video or audio. Italian is quite easy pronunciation wise - once you know all the major sounds, you pretty much know how to pronounce everything. There isn't the variation that our beloved English has; it always makes sense; and is quite recognizable on the written page if you can speak and read English.
I think your best bet would be to google phrases (with quotation marks around them) like "italian phonetics guide", "italian pronunciation guide", "italian educational audio" "avanti italian educational". Educational bookshops can be helpful too.

However the best way to have correct pronunciation when speaking Italian is to wave your arms around when you speak it and make many forcefull hand gestures. :)
