The doll is equipped for almost an hour of speech that includes various questions, programmed responses, requests, songs and games. As Amanda speaks, her soft-plastic lips move and her face, using Disney-like animatronics, helps to suggest expressions. In a game called "funny face" Amanda asks if kids would like to see a happy face or a sad one. If kids request "happy face," the doll´s eyes brighten and she looks as if she is smiling. If Amanda is asked to make a sad face, her lower lip protrudes as her lids lower. She can even cry when asked.
