Some of the best ADR I've ever gotten from inexperienced loopers was done where the director could hear the loop but not the talent, and only I was watching video. The director spoke the lines the way he wanted them, the talent answered back a few times, and then the director would have them continue to refine their performance with a few comments. Sync was pretty good and performance was excellent. I agree that for people who have never ADRed before the experience of seeing themselves onscreen is very distracting.
