Goodrem performed on US chat show The View last week and has secured a Letterman slot for September.
"It�s been humbling and challenging,'' Goodrem said of her American assault. "It�s starting to hit but at the same time it�s such a big place it�s going to take a while, I have no doubt about that. But I�m still young, I want to give it a shot. I have patience. I�m very relaxed about it, I�m enjoying doing it, it�s been a beautiful process to watch it growing step by step."
Goodrem has been slowly winning over radio, press and TV, including influential blogger Perez Hilton.
"I'm a new artist over there," Goodrem said. "Most people�s journeys haven't been as disjointed as mine. This is the first time I can spend time there, go in there and build the foundation, commit to it and give it a great shot."
Her US record company adding her 2002 No.1 Born to Try to the American version of her album.
It is expected to be her second American single later this year.
"I don�t have any expectations," Goodrem said. "I�m just excited I get to sing all the time. There�s nothing but open ears of people wanting to listen. It�s actually a beautiful feeling, you only get to discover an artist once. Because I�ve experienced that before I can enjoy it for the first time because I was so nervous when I started in Australia. Now I can go there and I know how it all works, I can just sing and enjoy it."
The singer admits being based in LA while fiance Brian McFadden launches his Australian career has been difficult.
"I miss him to pieces, it�s absolutely heartbreaking being away from him and being away from my family, but I choose to do this."
