What sort of help? Where are you getting stuck?

 

Have you looked at Colin's tutorials?

And this?

(Sorry, haven't a clue who you are talking 'bout - shall google )

 

Edit: I should have googled first - the mouth is flat and simple.

 

I wonder if this document would help you:

It's a very old tutorial, but is one of my favourites.

Have you worked through The Art of Animation:Master exercises? This will answer a lot of your questions.

 

In Exercise 7 Can you Say That? you get to use a premade model and lip sync.

 

In Exercise 12 Lip Poses you get to use a model and move the control points to make the lips move.

 

You might need to rig your character's mouth with a bone to make the jaw open and close. Rigging is introduced in Exercise 9 Flower Power.

 

Screen shots of where you are at and where you are having problems would help.
