Breaking the fourth wall is speaking directly to the audience, including them in the situation.
Breaking the fourth wall is a definite no-no. It is to be done only in one person shows that call for it, mellodramas that call for it, comedies that call for it. Did you notice the pattern?
Breaking the fourth wall and including the audience usually has the effect of taking them OUT of the play rather than bringing them INTO it. In Mellodrama, there are plenty of 'asides' written into the script. This gives the actor the opportunity to express his thoughts to the audience, including them as a character. And, in fact, the audience expects this in mellodrama, Commedia del Arte and in most (not all!) one-person shows. In a drama, and in most straight comedies, it would destroy the illusion to show the audience that you are aware of their presence.
So, unless your director has good reason for his or her actors to break the fourth wall, do NOT take it upon yourself to do so.
