How do I find out what key my voice is in?

Your voice has no key. If you're asking what notation it's in, it's in C but you can sing in any key.

As Ax said the voice is a chromatic instrument capable of singing in any key. You have a vocal range usually described as Bass, tenor, alto, or soprano but not a Key.

Yeah. You are a guy yeah? So if you comfortably sing basically the bass clef, you are a bass. If you can more comfortably sing between the top of the bass clef and bottom of the treble clef you are a tenor. Bass low E - Middle Cish. Tenor mid E (on bass clef) to mid C (on treble clef).
Anyone want to back me on that one?

Yep that's generally about right, it varies a little from person to person, some fall a little in between
etc.

Yep, you're range is the lowest note you can hit, to the highest note you can hit. You can figure this out by singing to the best of your ability and start on a note on the piano you are comfortable with. (Middle C will probably work fine) then work down, singing each note as you hit it on the piano. Once you hit a note and can go no lower, that's your lowest you can go, thus, the low end of your range. Then, do the same thing, but go up. When you get to where you can go no higher, that's the high end of your range. Your range will probably be somewhere around three octaves...maybe more, maybe a little less, it varies from person to person.
