If I increase the volume of a radio or tv or increase the speed of a fan, does it use more electricity?

The increased volume on the radio increases the electricity use by a small amount. How much depends on the design of the radio.
The fan, yes, by a significant amount.

YES !
LOUDER SOUND WAVE OUTPUT REQUIRES TO CONSUME MORE CURRENT IN ITS AF POWER OUTPUT STAGE.
HIGHER ROTATION SPEED REQUIRES TO CONSUME MORE CURRENT TO EXCHANGE HIGHER TORQUE AND FASTER ROTATION FIELD STRENGTH IN FAN AC MOTOR.

Yes to both, although increased volume would only use a very small amount of increased wattage.
