As others have said, immerse yourself in Americana.

Listen to American newscasters. They are generally regarded as having "ideal" American accents.

In some parts of the nation someone might say Drummah so like a said a Southern/Texan accent would be the easiest accent to pick up

On a side note, by wanting to change from a Australian to American accent you've automatically done more to learn our language then hundreds of thousands of immigrants.

Australians already know our language, stupid fuck. And don't change it, Australian accents are hot as fuck.

No fucking shit sherlock.  Just the fact of her trying to go from her Australian Accent to an American one has proven she's done more to try then a lot of other immigrants.  Thats what the above said, now please gtfo.
