Tell us which speech and we'll answer.
The speech that Hamlet gives to the players means don't over act. The speech is given in Act 3 Scene 2 of the play.

Hamlet gives his "To be, or not to be" soliloquy. Hamlet tells Ophelia, "Get thee to a nunnery!" Hamlet decides not to kill Claudius while he prays. Hamlet kills Polonius.
The word you are looking for is probably "soliloquy", although this word does not define all of the Famous Speeches Hamlet gives. It does define "O that this too too solid flesh would melt", "O what a rogue and peasant slave am I", "To be or not to be, that is the question", "Now is the very witching hour of night", and "How all occasions inform against me". But it does not describe what is probably Hamlet's second-most famous speech, "Alas! Poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio" which is of course part of a conversation with Horatio, or the very famous "What a piece of work is man" speech he gives to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.Probably you are thinking of the word "soliloquy" which means a speech by a character which is not intended to be heard by any other characters on stage. A soliloquy might be thought of as an extended aside.
It is called "The Murder of Gonzago". But Hamlet gives it a new name, "The Mousetrap", because he intends to trap Claudius with it.

Hamlet's father gives him the task of avenging his death by poison.
You are referring to William Shakespeare, but it's not a play-- it's a speech from "Hamlet"-- a special kind of speech called a soliloquy (when a character steps out in front of the stage and gives a speech all by himself or herself, usually about some issue that is very important in the play).
Polonius sends Reynaldo to spy on Laertes; Ophelia reports that Hamlet behaved weirdly in her bedroom; the King and Queen hire Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to find out what's up with Hamlet; Polonius tells the King and Queen his theory about Hamlet's madness; Polonius gets shown up as a fool by Hamlet; Rosencrantz and Guildenstern meet with Hamlet; he guesses their purpose and gives them the "What a piece of work" speech; the actors arrive and the main actor performs a speech of Aeneus' tale to Dido about the fall of Troy; Hamlet on his own delivers the "O what a rogue and peasant slave am I" soliloquy and decides to use the actors to reveal Claudius's guilt.

Polonius never gives advice to Hamlet. He interacts with him four times: when he accosts Hamlet in the hall when he is reading (what do you read, my lord? words, words, words), when he comes to tell Hamlet that the players have come (Buz, buz) and during and after the First Player's speech about Hecuba, during the Mousetrap (I did enact Julius Caesar), and to tell Hamlet to see his mother (very like a whale). During these conversations Hamlet constantly has Polonius on his off foot, and Polonius would never have a chance to offer advice. He does, of course offer a lot of advice to his son Laertes, but nobody would confuse Laertes with Hamlet.
