user15850: What is the name of the technique and how do you rig a camera so that it follows the actor's face from the front, like in the two videos below. I would describe it as a "front tracking follow" shot.

JME - 96 Fuckries (from beginning)

Cheers

user11523: It made with body camera rig. 

Here is tutorial, hot to do it yourself, but you will need some adjustments to face it from front.
Or if you don't need hands in the shot, you can use your tripod, how shown in this tutorial (careful, bad audio)
