There are many types of American accents. But for a neutral "she's from the US" one, make sure you pronounce your "R"s and short "A"s in a fairly hard yet fleeting way; use a lot of contractions; know American vs English pronunciations (i.e. 'Mall': AM = Mawl EN = Mahl). Inflections are almost as important as pronunciation. If in doubt, emphasize the last word in a statement or question:It's not "I AM sure"; It's, "I am SURE". It is necessary to listen to and repeat native American dialogue. So record yourself doing so along with American television/movies, and listen critically to the playback.

To do an American accent, it's important to understand the general pronunciation patterns. Focus on pronouncing the "r" sound more prominently, and try to soften or neutralize any strong regional accent you may have. Pay attention to the intonation and rhythm of American English, and familiarize yourself with common American phrases and slang to enhance the authenticity of your accent. Practice listening to and imitating native American speakers to refine your skills.

I believe that in American English the accent is in the middle (the second syllable), while in British usage the accent is in the beginning of the word (the first syllable). American: lyooTENant. British: LYOOtnant.
