How do you do compering?

Answer 1

I believe you mean compeer. The dictionary defines it as a close friend or comrade. Some arts programs use the word to define a person to whom a younger, less experienced person can turn for guidance, e. g. the Music Academy of the West, who brings young musicians from around the world to Montecito, Ca. for 2 months every summer, has a compeer program where people in the community are assigned a student who they will assist with things other than the music program...and provide family type support.

Another answer:

I believe you mean what you say! 'Compering' means 'acting as the master (or mistress) of ceremonies'. You will need to welcome the audience at the beginning of the event, to introduce each of the contributors taking part, and to thank them after their turn. To do this effectively, you will need to be self-confident and to speak clearly. It is important to be able to 'think on your feet'. You should be sensitive to other people so that you can respond appropriately to the contributors and audience, especially if any problems arise (for example, if the audience heckles or a contributor makes an offensive remark). You should do some homework beforehand, so that you know your audience and have a good understanding of the types of act that will be presented.
