Another thing that is helpful is to make sure your model understands the difference between head rotation and tilt. What often happens is that models tend to slump in the direction of the tilt and then overcorrect during the couse of the pose.

Make sure to help your model line up the tilt at the beginning of every sitting. Do this by checking placement of the ears and the angles of the corners of the eyes and the nose and mouth lines. It can help to have a long-haired model pull back hair to locate the tops of the ears so that you can set the pose back up. The amount of ear that you see will also help you to set the foreshortening of the features.
