Then you can experiment by moving the capo up and up until you reach the original key, I guess.
This concern for being in a key appropriate to your voice is the first thing that occurred to me. You can determine your range - the highest and lowest notes that you can comfortably sing. You may need to change some keys to accommodate your range and/or choose songs that don't exceed your range.
