I'm off 9 at the moment, and I'm really keen to get my handicap down. The issue is that my fade can turn into a really big slice quite quickly, mid-round, which always costs me a few shots.
So I'm keen to turn it into a draw or at least learn how to control it either way. Has anyone got any tips?

Your shoulders turn to the right while your club face faces out left. Dont let your trail shoulder come forward. Shoulders shouldn’t initiate the downswing.
Initiate downswimg by stepping into lead foot, drop the hands straight down and turn. Let the club work through the zone.
My favorite swing video:

you have a very solid, powerful swing. but i do notice your are aimed slightly right with a shut club face meaning you are forcing yourself to fade the ball.
Im not a pro and around the same handicap as you, but perhaps consider opening both your stance and your clubface and swinging a bit more center instead of towards the right
And then your draw will turn into a hook and be even more unplayable than the slice.
your arms are disconnected from your chest on the backswing. bringing the club back too shallow and away from your body your right arm end up flying way above your shoulders line in transition.
as a result your downswing can only be steep and come in over the top. you can only hit it well because you learned to compensate for these mistakes with timing and extension but you have no margin for error nor control.
I would say fix your backswing rotating with your body and staying connected and on the right plane
Nice swing. Looks a bit DJ-ish
Just practice hitting hooks, swing out to the left and turn the club over more through impact. Play the ball a fraction further back if it helps. You’ll get the feeling
You’re standing on the wrong side of the ball!
Fellow lefty here, put a tee in front of the ball at the 11 o clock position, try to swing through the ball into tee.
Easiest tip I ever got.
