This is when a character expressing their opinions, views, inner throughts and feelings which are not to be revealed to other characters. This can sometimes linked with Epic theatre as the 'stepping out of character' shows the distancing the actor from the character, so there is no emotional connection ( the Verfremdungseffekt effect)
I believe it is a soliloquy. source: dictionary.com
A short remark unheard by the other characters is called an aside. A monologue unheard by the other characters is a soliloquy.
Aside: an actor's speech, directed to the audience that is not supposed to be heard by other actors on stage. Juliet: Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet. Romeo (Aside) : Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this? Juliet: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague…"
The correct quotation is "Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?" "Shall I hear more" does not mean the same thing as "shall you hear more" Probably the best way to define an aside is a line said by a character which is unheard by anyone else on stage, but is heard by the audience. By this definition, the remark is an aside: Romeo says it but Juliet doesn't hear it. The Wikipedia definition of aside as a remark addressed to the audience is unhelpful, as it is unclear whether the remark is to be addressed to the audience or whether he is addressing himself. It depends on how the actor is directed.

A short remark unheard by the other characters is called an aside. A monologue unheard by the other characters is a soliloquy.
An aside is a dramatic device in which a character speaks to the audience. By convention the audience is to realize that the character's speech is unheard by the other characters on stage. It may be addressed to the audience expressly (in character or out) or represent an unspoken thought. An aside is usually a brief comment, rather than a speech, such as a monologue or soliloquy. Unlike a public announcement, it occurs within the context of the play.
