And see, I can't tune out sound. Commercials? Hear'em. Jingles? Forget it. Even when I'm reading, unless I really get engrossed, if there's sound going, I will generally hear it and process it along with whatever I'm reading.
I can do names and remember people just fine, including remembering the faces of actors and recognize them from other characters they've played (I'll frequently figure out things like, "Oh! I know that guy because he was the arresting cop in blah-blah" when he was in one scene in that movie five years ago, and in a TV show after that and now is the sidekick in the big-budget blockbuster. Yeah).
But I absolutely also do things like write out lines longhand when I'm trying to memorize things, in addition to repetition and listening over and over, so yes, sometimes kinesthestic learning is important. But I still speak it in my head even as I'm writing, which is why it works for me.
