Back in 2011 I was watching a fantastic training video by animator Kenny Roy involving his approach to animating lip sync. His lesson was really useful and helped me begin to improve how I deal with dialogue.
I started with animating the open/closed state of the mouth throughout the dialogue. Paying attention to hit certain accents. Then I addressed the wide/narrow positions of the mouth corners. Finally I moved to the lip controls themselves to create supportive shapes for clarity. I tried to lead each thing being said by a couple frames so that your eye could have time to process what was being said.

Here is Part 1 showing only animated facial controls to try and hit the dialogue.
