Can voice actor coaching through an online environment really work?

It seems to me that a coach should hear the student deliver lines in person and without risk of a poor quality internet connection. How coaching in any environment other than in person doesn’t appear to be worth it. Thoughts?

I've heard Robert De Niro talk about practicing the inflection he wants to deliver a line with, but this conflicts with my understanding of good acting, novice though it is.
