Original posts:
A vertical neck attached to the skull at a more rearward position—as opposed to a forward-inclined neck attached to the middle of the skull—can give the illusion of forward growth. Sometimes just a straightened neck looks better than actual forward growth (of course, the ideal would be both).
Note: A forward neck is not the same as forward head posture. A forward-positioned neck joins the cranium in the middle instead of the back, resulting in a short submental area and the back of the head sticking out. A forward neck is not the same as a gay alien skull either. Gay alien skulls have protruding occiputs because of large neurocranium size relative to small splanchnocranium size and skinny neck, while forward-necked skulls don't necessarily have disproportionately large neurocraniums or thin necks.
Examples
The hole where the spine connects to the cranium is called the foramen magnum.
Bad foramen magnum location
Good foramen magnum location
