How to pronounce the sound ae?

Question

I'm trying so hard to talk with American accent but I can't get how to pronounce the sound ae(Near-open front unrounded vowel). I'm from Russian so we don't have the same sound in our language... Sometimes I hear this sound like upper "a" and sometimes - like a lower "e". But maybe it's a difference between American and British pronunciation, I don't know.

So please explain me how to pronounce it with American accent.

Answer 2
