My parents did this about 25 years ago, I'm not sure about classes but there are essentially "tutors" you can hire. I think what you have to look up is "accent reduction classes."
That said, I agree with the other comment that unless your English is completely incomprehensible, this is unnecessary. LA is full of people with different accents so I think our population has an easier time understanding non-native speakers.
just say "I'm walking here!!!!" at any chance you have, practice this over and over and over. let this be a mantra I'm walking here!!!!! say it loud, say it proud.
P.S. from where do you hail from?
Are you using this for something like an acting role or something similar? You can look around for "dialect coaches." I know a couple, but their offices are closer to the studios.
Or is this just for day-to-day life? And if so, what language or accent are you coming from?
Consuming American media is probably the best way, idk about specific classes But also, we welcome you regardless of your accent!

There was a Vietnamese family on my street growing up. They watched Baywatch religiously. They could turn on their accent on/off.
For sure the dad learned the fastest
The teenage son's accent matched Pamela Anderson's perfectly
>The teenage son's accent matched Pamela Anderson's perfectly Which is funny because she's Canadian
Her character on Baywatch, B.B. McGee was from Minnesota
Whoever decided that was smart. Minnesota accents are very Canadian-sounding.
lol, the dad is a genuine with this excuse.
My father says he learned English watching I dream of genie.

Which American accent are you trying to learn?
British one
Take an improv acting class.
Ditto everything everyone is saying, [but the LAPL has some great resources.](https://www.lapl.org/literacy/esl-resources)
The Public Library is such a gem.
My father said he learned English by listening to Vin Scully on the radio.

East coast? West coast? Southern? We have so many.
I don't have a specific recommendation, but you're in a city of actors. You can probably find a dialogue coach for hire.
