It is a nice idea, but I am still skeptical on how somebody can improve his speaking skills just based on virtual "stuff". It is almost like learning to code just by writing out code by hand on a paper. This needs a lot of video integration in order to work.

I think you'll be surprised.

A hurdle many speakers have to get over is to be able to listen to what you're actually saying rather than what you think you're saying. Video is a great trick for that.

I very nice hack I learned from @johannakoll was to do my sessions to Silverback (http://silverbackapp.com/) or some other screen + webcam recording device. Being able to watch yourself speak with your slides is a hugely useful tool to spot problems and improve. It allows you to see yourself as your audience sees you.
