How did actors create a connection with the audience during Shakespeare time?

Actors created a connection with the audience in Shakespeare's day exactly as they do now. Actors respond to the reactions or lack of them which an audience gives. If the audience is with the actors, they will continue the rhythm and energy that established the relationship. If the audience is drifting away, the actors need to work harder to get the audience's attention and interest, by being louder, making larger gestures, adding humour and so on. This needs to be done at the beginning of a play, so Shakespeare often started his plays with something which would grab the audience's attention, like the appearance of a ghost.

Why is there a fourth wall in theater?

The fourth wall is the imaginary wall between the actors in a play and the audience. The front of the stage doesn't have a wall like the ones on the sides or back of the stage. But there's usually a separation between the actors and the audience, and the actors typically ignore the audience when they're acting (like there was a wall between them).
