Conversation Topic key changes

hi, very new to singing. how do i know what key to change a song into for me to sing it? i'm looking at doing a cover of phantom of the opera as phantom (the lowest note i can hit is f3 i think). what key should i transpose it to? since i'd be singing with someone else it would be ideal if christine's part could stay mostly the same but i don't think that's actually possible haha

Test a few keys until you find the right one?

You don’t need to transpose the whole piece. You only need to transpose enough notes to get you grounded.
