As a theater and literature expert, I can tell you that when a character in a play or a film speaks directly to the audience, this technique is known as "asides" or "soliloquies" in the context of classic theater, and it's a way for the playwright to reveal the character's inner thoughts, feelings, or intentions. However, the term you're looking for that encapsulates the broader concept of a character acknowledging the audience's presence is indeed "breaking the fourth wall."

There is a concept in drama called "the fourth wall" which refers to the invisible wall separating the audience from the actors. The device you are referring to, when an actor or actors speaks directly to the audience, is simply called "breaking the fourth wall."
