Any tips on csing ?

Every game I play, I can an average 50 cs at 10 minutes. I know you need to 80-90 cs/10 min. Is there any tips high elo players can give me to get better at csing ?

Go into a custom game with no runes as Karthus. Practice.

What if I don't have Karthus ?

Malzahar, Annie, Soraka, really anyone with very low AD or awkward autos. CSing comes with experience and time, practicing in a custom is really only if you are focused on getting better.

Focus on which minions are attacking which and practice.

80-90 is a stretch really, 70-80 is a more reasonable (yet efficient) goal by 10mins (depending on how the lane is going)

Practice in a custom game helps, but sometimes the issue is centered around a player's lack of creep wave knowledge. Try to learn how to control the creep wave's positioning (youtube has millions of these videos) so that you don't find yourself under tower, or you don't find yourself missing cs because you're too pushed and could be ganked. Players also tend to be too aggro in lane where they would rather have that extra auto over a cs, stuff like that. But practice is always key

The fact is im in bronze 5 where a lot of players tend to have low csing knowledge (im no exception). When I try to learn something from YouTube videos, I tend to forget it very fast, which is a big problem.

that becomes a self-awareness/self-control thing then, in which case a custom game against a bot can help a lot.

Join an ARAM custom against 1 bot and only try to trade when you know it won't affect your cs. Your priority should only be on the cs, your kda shouldn't matter at all. It should be fairly easy because who cares about kda in a custom bot 1v1 game right? lol

As for the "controlling the creep wave" thing, that just takes dedication to learn. The fact that you're reaching out about this stuff puts you ahead of most bronze players, now you just gotta finish the deal and maintain a certain self-awareness about the creep wave while your laning which you can also practice in an aram.

If you see things about pushing the wave at first or blah blah blah to gain an early level advantage, just ignore it. Last hit only, don't mess around with any complicated techniques until you are gold+...you won't need it anyways.

(also, whatever champion doesn't matter. The guy who recommended Karthus isn't quite correct because every champion has it's only auto animation that you have to get used to. Karthus's terrible auto animation won't help with a fluid one like velkoz, it'll just make you auto too early until you get used to it)

Something else you should do is not focus on winning lane. Focus on not losing lane. Get every last hit that you safely can.

Eventually it becomes natural and you can work in heavier harass/trading. But being consistent with CS and not dying makes you capable of surging up to gold with a little map knowledge.
