Did ANYONE get handouts for SOLER and SOLERSAC?
The dude said we'd get handouts later on that week, but I don't have anything.

Seconded. I believe section B also received nothing of the sort.

Yes, I asked the TF after the session regarding the time we would be receiving these handouts, and he said "Oh, by the end of the week", but they must have forgotten. Bummer...maybe we should contact a TF, send a random email. Mike is my vocal teacher at school, so I can contact him.

Hey, I just googled SOLER and came up with this; I think it's pretty close:
S stands for Square: This means facing the speaker square on, with your shoulders parallel to those of the speaker.
O stands for Open: This involves an open posture, particularly with your arms. It is suggested that speakers offer less trust to listeners who have their arms crossed.
L stands for Lean: When sitting, listeners who lean slightly forward engender a greater sense of intimacy than listeners who lean back in their chairs. You may have noticed this in your own experience. In some cultural groups the gender of the people who are communicating influences what is appropriate.
E stands for Eye: Eye contact is an important part of attending. Our clients are less likely to communicate freely with us if we avoid eye contact with them. In fact, people will usually stop talking with another person if the listener withdraws eye contact. However, intense eye contact can also make communication difficult for the speaker. Here we need to engage in soft eye contact – regular, gentle eye contact that neither avoids direct gaze nor stares too intensely. It is important to be aware of cultural practices with eye contact.
R stands for Relax: Finally, speakers are more likely to feel comfortable with listeners who are calm and relaxed. This means refraining from fidgeting, foot-tapping, wringing hands, cracking knuckles, breathing rapidly, and so on. Being relaxed is a state of mind that is shown in the body. However, concentrating on the body can aid relaxation. We all have our own ways of imposing a relaxed state on our bodies and for most of us this will involve gentle, deep, and regular breathing, relaxed muscles, and a still posture
