Stefanie Joosten was interviewed by NME regarding her role as Quiet in Metal Gear Solid 5, discussing the character's design and her perspective on its portrayal.
Born and raised in Roermond, Limburg, Netherlands, Stefanie Joosten developed an early fascination with Japanese culture, particularly anime and video games. This interest led her to pursue Japanese language and culture studies at Leiden University. In 2009, as part of an exchange program, she spent a year in Kyoto, an experience that reinforced her decision to move to Tokyo after completing her degree. Upon relocating to Japan, Joosten began her career in 2011 by working with modeling agencies that specialized in hiring Western models. Her early professional endeavors included a variety of minor acting roles and commercials.
A significant turning point in Stefanie Joosten’s career came when she received an unexpected invitation to audition for an undisclosed video game project. Unaware of the game’s identity due to the secrecy surrounding the production, she attended the audition. It was during this process that she recognized Hideo Kojima, a renowned video game developer, leading her to realize the magnitude of the project. She was subsequently cast as the voice and motion capture artist for Quiet, a central female character in “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain” (2015). Beyond her visual and vocal portrayal, the character’s likeness was also modeled after Joosten. She further contributed to the game’s legacy by singing “Quiet’s Theme,” a track featured on the game’s original soundtrack.
Building on her success in “Metal Gear Solid V,” Joosten continued to expand her presence in the gaming industry. She joined the cast of “Spacelords” in early 2019, portraying the character Sööma. In 2021, she took on multiple roles in “Wanted: Dead,” contributing her voice to Vivienne Niemantsverdriet, appearing on the game’s soundtrack, and serving as the lead cinematic director. Beyond gaming, Joosten ventured into music, releasing her debut album, “Singing to the Sky,” in 2022, executive produced by Giorgio Moroder. Her second album, “Intermission,” was announced in 2023, with its first single, “Tryouts for the Human Race,” being a collaboration with Giorgio Moroder, covering a Sparks song.
