Rachel's English has a lot of free videos with focus on phonetics:
I like this course (I bought the pdf+mp3 version):

It's very important to record and listen to yourself. It'll become clear very quickly what you need to improve.

In SF, I really like my voice coach, Eugene O'Reilly: [email protected]. (I have no financial connection with him other than as a satisfied customer.) I believe he also does online accent preparation. His website is horrid - don't judge him by that.
So, can people recommend any good online courses / institutes where I can improve my accent to bring it more in line with the standard American one?
