swinging with your right foot behind your left foot like someone suggested is a great drill. It will slow your tempo (especially backswing) ...keep you from reverse pivoting (often the cause of a slice)...and naturally get you to release the club head..ie roll your right hand over.

But lessons would be a good idea

Couple of common reasons why you slice.

Hips way too quick and club cant catch up to square. This will cause a block slice.

Shoulders too open at impact causing a big outside in swing and can result in pull slice or straight slice depending on club head position at impact.

Take some half swings with a wedge concentrating on your should being square at impact. This will teach the perfect timing to rotate your wrist as well as an on plane swing.

You can also close in you left toe to restrict hip rotation through the ball.

If these dont work, get a lesson, its something else.
