Vocalist's role: leader
Pianist's role: follower
Accompanist's tips:
1. Play softer so the vocalist can be heard
2. Avoid playing for every word as this can create an overworked or sluggish mood.
3. Basically, you can chord for every other word and allow the vocalist to carry the tune.
Accompanying singers is an art! A pianist is no longer a slave to the melody when accompanying. You must think in chord frames instead of each note of the melody.
