Converted to IPA, it should be: /si.'ril/ for the first clip, and /'si.ril/ for the second clip.
Yes, that's right: the man puts the stress on the second syllable, and the woman puts the stress on the first syllable. I guess this means that the stress varies from person to person, but apart from that, the pronunciation is otherwise the same.
