You need to talk louder. It's that easy. Wait until it's an opportune time to talk and start the sentence with a firm, confident, loud (but not overly loud) voice. If you start off with a soft demeanor then those bastards who interrupt people will just talk over you.

One more tip: if someone DOES start talking over you, keep talking, and increase your volume until you're yelling if you have to. The very few times I'm talked over, I do this, and it gets the message across real fast to the jackass who did it.
