Hello, I may not speak fluent japanese.(My Japanese is pretty horrible) I take it you need help with your accent? What part of it are you having issues with? Is it understanding the rhthym of of the syllables? Or not sounding so.... american... or less-japanese?

Can you read music? Or at least have a general understanding of it?
When it comes to pronunciation, at first, think of a Japanese word or phrase as a beat line or rhthymn.(I can't spell for the life of me.)
Example:
Ko-n-ni-chi-wa
Think of each of those syllables as quater notes, or a tap. Each tap should be the same length. In words like Shitte (Jealousy, for those easily offended dummies.) There is a double consanant.
Shi-t-te
Think about that as a quarter note and an eighth note; or one tap with a split second pause, then another shorter tap. With words like Ookami(wolf) it is the same thing, only don't add a pause.
Eventually the way you read it will become easier and more relaxed, then your accent will fall in place the more you listen to the way things are said. In other words you can cut corners. I hope that helps.
Sincerely,
Ryuu, Yuzora
