I'm wanting to do something similar to this, with two lines of text that warp in a curved fashion. i've been trying with "arc upper" and "arc lower" with little success. Thank you!

You need to create you own custom envelopes for this.

I almost never acceptable results warping text with a top object as the distortion makes type look unsymmetrical/sickly distorted. Object >> envelope Distort >> Reset with mesh helps significantly with this, but you need to tweak as I will show in next step.

 

 

Below is after tweaking the warp mesh by hollow selecting points and nudging to get the verticals to align. I drew 2 red lines where I did not finish to show how to improve this.

 

 

You also might opt to try for a similar but easier effect with fish warp or similar and then apply on the bottom shape with the negative value
