"I like that they are watching and actually saying things that are productive," she told HELLO!

However Melora added that sometimes personal experiences can affect the way perceived criticism is viewed, adding: "I had some tough ballet teachers - or maybe I'm just used to it as an actor - but teachers would only correct you when they thought you had potential."
