The neck especially appears very rigid, so I think a larger arc change would be better. The animated GIF below shows only the expected movement arc roughly indicated by the red line:
In other words, I think it would be good to add a neck bend where the head tilts downward. Regarding Arc, you may also find the following video we previously released helpful:
I hope this helps!
