Mike Daugherity- Los Angeles, CA
“I truly can’t think of a more authentic, experienced, and qualified duo, along with all the buzzwords you could imagine. But when it comes down to it, Lyle Brocato and Angelena Swords Brocato are genuine, caring artists. They are good people. My experience in the entertainment industry has had its ups and downs, and at times, I found myself unprepared for certain challenges. However, I can guarantee, without a doubt, that Arcade Acting Studio will equip you with the tools and confidence you need to thrive in your craft. I have had the absolute pleasure of knowing both of these individuals, and I would like to make a comparison. There’s another family that I’ve worked with in Los Angeles, and that’s the Garry Marshall family, director of films like Pretty Woman and Beaches, as well as beloved television shows such as Happy Days and Mork and Mindy. The entire Marshall family is supportive, lifts you up, and treats you with respect. That’s exactly what you’ll get from Angelena Swords Brocato and Lyle Brocato. So, if you're considering signing up, give it a try—you won’t regret it! It’s truly worth it.”

“I have so much gratitude for Angelena and Lyle! My daughter, Mya, had her first audition with the help of Angelena and Lyle. They taped Mya’s audition and photographed her headshots. We felt at ease every step of the way. They are both professional, so kind, supportive, and encouraging while also giving great advice! Angelena and Lyle have so much knowledge to share about acting and how this industry works. Mya booked her first lead role in the short film “The Nine” from this audition. She filmed alongside Angelena and she genuinely brought out the best in Mya. We are fortunate to work with caring acting coaches who instill confidence and quality performances!”

“I’ve had the pleasure of being Lyle and Angelena’s agent for several years, and I truly can’t think of anyone better to teach on-camera acting! Both are working actors who understand the business inside and out — not just what happens in front of the camera, but everything it takes to build a career behind the scenes, too.
They’re incredibly talented and they’ve been a joy to represent. Professional, kind, collaborative, and always prepared - I'm lucky to have them in my corner. They’re also rockstar parents, and I’m so excited to see them share their heart, experience, and expertise.”
