You could simply record 10 seconds of silence before the speech starts and that would solve the problem. I would recommend using an audio editor to help you. There are many out there including the excellent Audacity which is completely free.

The problem you are having launching Crazytalk is because iClone 2.5 is not compatible with Crazytalk 5. To use the two together right now requires Crazytalk 4. iClone 3.0 when it is released will be compatible with Crazytalk 5.
