If you're looking to score with American girls, learn an Australian accent.

He'd probably wind up starting a sentence in a New Yoiker accent, stray over to some mid-western, mid sentence, and end up in a Texan drawl with a touch of valley girl thrown in just for shits and giggles.

Yeah. Just make sure you end every sentence sounding as if you're asking a question.

I've been outside of the U.S for a good few years now. If I don't listen to anything American for awhile, sometimes people ask me which part of this country I am from! It took years to get to this stage...If only I was not fascinated by NBA, Dateline, and Democracy Now! I would perhaps sound absolutely not American.
I assume it'd be similar for you. Live in America, keep listening to Americans, pick up on their mannerisms, spend as much time as possible isolating yourself from your motherland/native language, communicate verbally less with those who aren't American.
I am sure you sound lovely though.

He is right. American babies have the greatest fat marbling bar none.

Smoke lots of weed, and finish every sentence with "man", for exaple, "hello, my name is canon, man." or "thats a lovely vest, man". Try to slurr ur words a bit too, speak very slowly at first and work ur way up.

I find the standard broadcast Australian accent to be the most grating and obnoxious accent in all of English. I've never actually heard an actual Australian speak that way, tho.

It's hard to even say what a typical American accent sounds like as a native speaker myself. It's easy to spot the differences when you hear them, but to just explain it or make a list for you is a little difficult especially not knowing your native language and what sounds it has in it that compare to English. E.g. like a person who speaks Spanish natively will need different kinds of pronunciation help on different words than a native Japanese speaker. I'd say just move to a state that has legal weed and a low age of consent you'll pick up the language pretty quickly.

Think about the upper midwest. "there" and "yet" have extra meanings when put together differently. "No, I haven't done that yet" = "I have yet to do this task" vs. "No, I haven't done that there yet" = I kinda care and it's on my list, but I'm busy with this current task". "My car is parked over there." = I know the location of my vehicle vs "I've still gotta make it to my car yet there" = "I need to remember where I parked but it's somewhere and I'll lazily make my way back" and depending on temperature and how quick it's said also means something else entirely; I've gotta find my car and it's -40 windchill let's wrap this up". Or if it's nice out it can be an invitation to walk them to their vehicle, just said at a different pace and inflection/tone.
Ohh but nohh, noh Minnesohtan could explain the difference there there, eh? It just is. Sunshowers don't exist there either. They just call it rain. Now I'm in Oregon and everyone talks like they're from Russia, Mexico, or have a "redneck New England" type accent.
