As a UK resident, if you want to deal in US shares, most brokers will require you to open a separate dollar dealing account with a US broker. Where the account is separate from your UK account, it has to be separately funded.
This may all sound complicated and tiresome, but in practice it's not. Other than the time difference and some differences in market practice and terminology, variations between the markets are not great. Anyone used to dealing online in shares in the UK should find it fairly easy to adapt to trading US securities.
