Thank you. I will tell my British tutor. I think the term you are describing is cadence. My tutor told me many times but I just can't get it right.
Again, thank you again for your kind advice
Obviously it's going to be hardest in spontaneous conversation, but for a planned speech, you could type as I did or use highlighters to indicate the most important words and phrases, and/or remind yourself which syllable gets stressed in tricky words.
Just to add to your difficulty, English vs. American differences include stressing different parts of words.
ありがとうございます(Thank you so much.)
