Testimonials

“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and watching T. Jay O’Brien develop his teaching technique for well over twenty years. He is a master at character development, story structure and I must admit his dialogue is what every actor dreams of saying. Perhaps his best quality is his ability to communicate with his students. His quick wit and direct approach to solving problems gets through the thickest writers skull. Now that’s teaching.”

Dan Lauria – Actor, Writer: The Wonder Years, Lombardi, Sullivan & Son

“For the last twelve years, T. Jay O’Brien has been invaluable in helping me develop my screenplays, TV pilots and plays. I rely on his insights into character and story structure for every project I write. His input is one of the reasons I have been so successful. I never write without him!”

Gregg Ostrin – Writer: Zombies VS. Gladiators, Xena, Warrior Princess, Kowalski

“I’ve been lucky to be on the receiving end of T. Jay’s notes for several years. The vast majority of those notes would fall under the category of, “Why didn’t I think of that?” T. Jay isn’t just a spot-on analyst but also a writer himself. He understands the process and the heartache of every writer. As Moderator of the Coronet Writers Lab you won’t find a bigger champion of writers and actors. If given the opportunity, T. Jay will present a thoughtful and insightful analysis of your script that will set you on the right rewrite path.”

Rick Bitzelberger – Writer: Crazy For Christmas, All She Wants For Christmas, Blockage

“T. Jay O’Brien helps developing writers cut through the fog to find the heart of their script – thematically developing character and plot to sharply hone even the rockiest drafts into readable, saleable, producible work.”
