I'm a little confused, theater background?? Does that mean you ran a projector in High School?? Every 'theater' person I've ever met was the biggest attention whore in the room. Are all of your friends from a 'theater' background too?

Try this next time someone starts talking over you. Slowly look around the group, making eye contact with everyone. Then suddenly look up past them, point and in a surprised voice say "NARWAL!" That will bring any conversation to a screeching halt and give you a chance to make your comment. Just about any 'off topic' or unusual statement will work. It will also work if stated as a question. Something like "Chicken?" or "Hooter?". Hooter is very effective.

In any event, if you're confident in your ability to converse and your friends indicate that they enjoy your conversation, then it all comes down to presentation. IF it is really bothering you, simply be more assertive. In one on one conversation that's not normally necessary, but in a group you have to command attention if you want to be heard.
