Way too many OPT-ions

Please help me figure out if I can make post-degree Optional Practical Training work for me as a freelancer working for companies all over the world. Snowflakes inside.
So. I'm set to graduate in May and found out I'm eligible for OPT even as a freelancer. Yay!
My problem: two of my biggest prospective clients are not American. Can I do freelance work for them before my work authorisation for the American companies I would like to work with comes through? I'm already going to talk to the people at Student Services, is there anyone else I should get in touch who can let me know if this is even possible/how to get the right permits?
TIA!
