What is a speech that an actor delivers to the audience when no one else is on stage?
This is not clear enough for us to give a specific answer.
The most likely answer is that it's either an "aside" or a "soliloquy". Both of these are more or less the theatrical equivalent of a "thought balloon" in a comic strip. The other characters on stage generally do not react to these, as they are supposed to represent the private thoughts of the character speaking.
Asides are usually short, often comedic and/or pithy, and directed specifically at the audience, while soliloquies can be long and are intended to represent the character "talking to himself" with no awareness of the audience at all. In other words, asides "break the fourth wall" while soliloquies do not.

One is to go outside, turn three times counter-clockwise and spit over your shoulder (either will do).
The other, which my school is using, is to say "Angels and ministers of Grace defend us." at the beginning of each rehearsal and to close each rehearsal by saying:
"If we shadows have offended, think but this and all is mended, that you have but slumbered here, whilst these visions did appear."
We say the end bit as a group before we light the ghost light each night.
