Raise Your Voice movie storyline. Terri Fletcher (Hilary Duff) is a small town girl with big time dreams. Blessed with a naturally joyful singing voice, Terri has her sights set on attending the Bristol-Hillman Conservatory in Los Angeles – the most celebrated summer music program in the country. Although she has plenty of raw talent, her lofty aspirations are quickly dashed by her overbearing father, Simon (David Keith), and the tragic loss of her beloved brother, Paul (Jason Ritter), who had secretly submitted a demo video of Terri that ultimately results in an acceptance letter to join the prestigious program.
A despondent Terri resigns herself to staying home for the summer when her mother Frances (Rita Wilson) and Aunt Nina (Rebecca De Mornay) intervene and covertly devise a plan to keep her from missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime.
Upon her arrival in Los Angeles, Terri is quickly introduced to the ultra – competitive, high-stakes environment of the big city. Lacking any formal training, she struggles to make friends and to find her voice amongst the highly-gifted group of musical students. Inspired by the mentoring lessons of Mr. Torvald (John Corbett), Terri pushes herself to master the intricate musical arrangements taught in the highly advanced program.
As the students prepare for their final performance to determine the winner of the school’s $10,000 academic scholarship, Terri partners with a fellow student, Jay (Oliver James), resulting in a romantic bond with the rough-and-tumble musician. Leaving her fears and anxiety behind, Terri must learn to step into the spotlight and rediscover the artistic musical passion that burns inside of her.
Multi-talented sensation Hilary Duff stars as Terri Fletcher, a 16-year-old aspiring singer struggling to find herself in the bright lights of Los Angeles during one unforgettable summer.
