Adding empty space before a song

I want to add a spoken title to a reading (with music) made in Garageband, but can't find a way to insert space before the recording. Obviously I could slide all the tracks along, but I have made many volume changes throughout, and these don't move with the recordings. Is there some way to add a section to the beginning that moves everything to the right, to allow me to insert my title?

In addition to HangTime's advice I'd like to point out the "Arrangement Track". (see also the GB help section on Arrangement Track). In the arrangement track you can label parts of your song with names like "chorus", "intro", and then drag these parts around and arrange them freely, with all the timing and automation you added. So you just could add a second arrengement region "Spoken Intro" at the end of your song and then drag it to the beginning.


To show the arrangement track enter "⌘⇧-A"


And yes, you should lock the automation to the regions.
