a remark made by an actor to the audience that other actors don't hear is called aside
There are two types of speeches meant for audiences in theatre. The first is called an aside which involves talking directly to the audience. The second is called a soliloquy. This is when the actor performing the soliloquy is the only one on the stage and is talking about their inner feelings and thoughts. While this does not speak directly to the audience, they are often added for the audience's benefit to help understand the play.
soliloquy....
A soliloquy is usually portrayed by an actor who is thinking to himself by talking to an audience so that we, as an audience knows the actor most innermost thoughts. The other characters on the play are always oblivious to this. It is a tactic often used by Shakespeare to develop traits and personalities of each character.
This is called a prologue.
