What Happened To Arryn Zech, How Old Is She?

With her more than a decade of wealth of experience in the entertainment industry, it is safe to say that Arryn Zech, who is currently 34 years old, does know her onions. She is best known for playing Blake Belladonna on RWBY and contributing to a lot of Rooster Teeth projects. However, these are just a few of the notable works she has on her resume. Also, her personal details are worth knowing as you will discover some lesser-known facts about the voice actress who doubles as a writer, and photographer, among other professions.

Arryn Zech was born in Spain but she grew up in the United States

While Arryn identifies as an American, she was actually born in Rota, Spain. Her family must have relocated to the United States in her early years, where she grew up in the city of New Braunfels, Texas. Consequently, she identifies as an American.

Charlie Zech and Brenna Zinn have been identified as her parents who raised her in Texas. While her dad, Charlie is a cyclist, he also has photography as one of his interests. Brenna on the other hand writes romance novels. Zech inherited her Jewish-Germanic background from her mother.

Arryn graduated from the North East School of Arts high school in San Antonio, Texas. She earned a certificate in Musical Theatre from the institution of learning, indicating her early interest in the arts. Nevertheless, she steered away from acting a little when she bagged a Bachelor of Journalism degree in Copy Editing and Design from The University of Texas at Austin. But the acting bug that bit her was strong enough to pull her back to the stage to keep her acting career alive.

Her best-known role is in RWBY

Playing Blake Belladonna, a voice role on RWBY, is still the most prominent role Arryn Zech has landed. The anime premiered in 2013 and has churned out two seasons with more in the works. A Rooster Teeth series, RWBY Volume 9 is scheduled for release in 2022. In the web show, Arryn joins other stars – Barbara Dunkelman, Kara Eberle, and Lindsay Jones to form the four main characters.

Zech is lending her voice to the character Dr. Emily Grey in the longest-running web-based series, Red vs. Blue. The web show was created by Rooster Teeth and she’s known to have contributed a lot to the Austin-based production company’s content.

Beyond Rooster Teeth shows, Arryn Zech has done voice roles in other animes. Her voice role as Nagisa Natsunagi in The detective is Already Dead is one of them. Overall, her classical voice and ability to display different acting methods make up her major skillset. She’s also a blogger, photographer, and writer, and indulges in gaming too.

One of her most recent works is the movie Loren & Rose, which is in post-production. She has equally done voiceovers for video games like RWBY: Grimm Eclipse, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, and Smite.
